    691. Building a Recession-Proof Fitness Business with Jill Coleman

     

    Jill Coleman is a relentless fitness and business coach striving to help other health and fitness professionals get out of the gym and start building a business that attracts clients successfully. She leverages her extensive knowledge and experience in the fitness space, from running marathons to joining figure competitions, to help clients develop the right mindset for having a fulfilling fitness journey. 

     

    In this episode of Redefining Movement, Jill talks about the influential role branding plays on the success of a fitness business. She also shares her experiences with understanding moderation in her diets, taking discipline to the next level by learning to trust herself, and lessons she’s learned about starting an online business and developing a recession-proof brand.

     

    In this episode, you will learn the following:

    • Understanding what you can and can’t control is powerful knowledge you can use wherever you are, whether it’s about fixing your diet or running your business. 
    • Another name for branding is trust-building, and that takes time. You need to develop your patience and endurance for providing value to your clients daily if you truly want to succeed as an entrepreneur in the fitness space—or any space, for that matter.
    • Being authentically yourself online differentiates you from other businesses since it’s what allows people to trust, and eventually follow you and your business when you decide to expand or pivot. Always remember to show your energy to attract people who are more likely to want to work with you.

  • 688. Wednesday Q&A: Different Leg Lengths, Diastasis Recti, & the Pelvic Floor

    688. Wednesday Q&A: Different Leg Lengths, Diastasis Recti, & the Pelvic Floor

    In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about practicing yoga with different leg lengths, diastasis recti, and relaxing the pelvic floor.

     

     

    • I got a really good question from a new student. She has different leg lengths that in daily life is adjusted by different thickness of the soles of her shoes. However, she’s questioning how to take this into account and how and where to adjust when doing yoga. What would you advise in this case? 
    • I’m 38 years old and currently 18 months postpartum after baby number two, I’m dealing with diastasis recti. I probably always had it a bit, but worsened it a lot after baby number one when I started my normal yoga practice about four weeks postpartum. My midwife realized the separation got bigger after a checkup, about four months postpartum by then. After that, I continued my yoga practice as normal, but did some physiotherapy. My belly wasn’t as flat as before pregnancy, but that’s okay after a baby and I had no other problems. After baby number two, I was very aware of the D.R. issue and tried to do everything right. No normal yoga – any kind of backbend, chaturanga, one-legged, and so on. But the separation was five fingers and only went down to about three fingers, max. I tried, as I mentioned, to avoid many kinds of movement which is very hard for someone who loves to move. Is there something that can be done? Can I reverse this? 
    • I feel like I’m strong in my pelvic floor. I don’t leak. I can do all kinds of exercises. But I see all over Instagram and social media this call to relax, relax, relax your pelvic floor and now I feel confused.

  • 686. Wednesday Q&A: Sciatica, Shoulder Positioning, & Warrior 1

    686. Wednesday Q&A: Sciatica, Shoulder Positioning, & Warrior 1

    In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about sciatica, shoulder positioning, and warrior 1 back leg. 

     

    • I’ve been listening to your podcast for a while. After hearing the question from the lady about sciatica, I have joined your platform. I recently had a flare-up of sciatica in my right leg and I started doing the classes that Kristin has online for sciatica mobility, hoping it will ease. I know from previous MRI scans that I have mild disc herniation L4-L5, L5-S1. My pain is like a tight wire down my back of my leg and calf and heel. Sometimes it’s in the front of the shin. I’m struggling with the inconsistency of pain. It’s definitely worse in the evening. I try to be as mobile as possible in the day, but do have a desk job. I’ve also had a prolonged issue with my right knee that has improved, but I know my mobility and right hip is much more limited than on the left side. I wonder if you had any further advice. I think your podcast and online classes are excellent. I’m passionate about functional movement for others and now I need to help myself.
    • She says some people seem to have trouble with lifting their arms and softening their shoulders. It looks like they always pull their shoulders up towards their ears when they go into cactus arms. What is the cause and what can I do to help/fix this?
    • In Warrior One with your back toes turned out about 30-45 degrees. If you pull the hip of the back leg forward, just enough to feel a good stretch in your back calf without feeling your knee being talked or twisted. Is that safe for your knee or does any action of trying to bring the hip of your back leg forward with the back hill down and your foot slightly turned out and angle twist and hurt that knee?

  • 684. Wednesday Q&A: Handstands, Intermittent Back Pain, & Bell’s Palsy

    684. Wednesday Q&A: Handstands, Intermittent Back Pain, & Bell’s Palsy

     

     

    In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about handstands, intermittent back pain, and Bell’s palsy. 

     

    Listen in as we answer Your questions:
    • I have a handstand question for the podcast. I am following the idea to pull the femur up and I’m quite stable in my handstand hop until I have to inhale again. Then all falls apart and I sink down. Do you guys have any tips?
    • How do I know if my intermittent back pain is a disc or a muscle?
    • One of my dearest friends’ husband has Bell’s palsy. He was bitten by a tick about two weeks ago, and shortly after he woke up looking like he had a stroke. They ruled out the stroke, thank goodness. But one side of his face is drooping and he can’t close one eye. Drinking is not easy. Whistling is out of the question had been told by his neurologist that it could be at least three months before any possibility of improvement occurs and that 80% of people will improve, hopefully returning to normal facial structure and nerve activity. I do not blame him for not wanting to wait and see. He is seeing an acupuncturist and after one session he felt a little better but no change. What experience do you have in treating Bell’s palsy, if any, and what are the suggestions that you have for me to pass on to them? He’s also on doxycycline for Lyme disease, but he has no symptoms other than half of his face being all kinds of droopy. He did start practicing gentle yoga online, which can only help. Of course, I believe that LYT yoga can be helped so much of what ails us humans. I wonder if the neuro programming can somehow help his face. I know it will help the rest of him and his mood too. And you never know. I really feel for him. And my friend too. Thank you.
